Former deputy chief minister K S Eshwarappa, who has rebelled against the party, in a dramatic u-turn, declared that his friend-turned-foe B S Yeddyurappa will become the next chief minister of Karnataka.

"There are differences among leaders and it is common to any party. I will work towards strengthening of the party. I am confident that the BJP will snatch power in the next Assembly elections in Karnataka and Yeddyurappa will return as the CM," said Eshwarappa, a day after announcing his plans to launch a separate apolitical outfit (Sangolli Rayanna Brigade).

Making it clear that the outfit would work towards mobilizing support at the grassroots level from Dalits and Other Backward Classes (OBC), Eshwarappa was of the view that it would supplement the cause of the BJP. "If there are any differences within the party, we will sort it out at the Core Committee meeting," he added.
